Samsokolo (feat. Mr JazziQ, Sir Trill, ThackzinDJ & Boohle) Lyrics Translation – Rascoe Kaos | Tee Jay
The words follow a path from long searching for cash to flashing new wealth. Jabulani Chuene translates the line, ‘Money, money, money, it’s the root of all evil’ to show the clash of greed and ambition. The story feels like a personal claim of success after years of hustle.
